Crispbread with chocolate sprinkles and sourdough bread with chocolate sprinkles are two different options to enjoy with your coffee. First, choose the base you prefer. If you go for sourdough bread, check separately whether it is wholemeal and whether iodised baker’s salt was used. Then choose your chocolate sprinkles based on the cocoa flavour you want, the pack size and the current label.
If you’d like sourdough bread instead of crispbread, you can pair its flavour with chocolate sprinkles to suit your taste. When comparing dark chocolate sprinkles, check the stated cocoa solids percentage; the word ‘dark’ alone doesn’t tell you what percentage they contain.
If you choose sourdough bread with your coffee, you can check separately whether it’s made with wholemeal flour and iodised baker’s salt. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, sourdough tells you nothing about the type of flour, and bakers don’t always use baker’s salt.
Ingredients can vary between different breads and chocolate sprinkles. For pre-packed products, check the latest allergen information. For unpackaged bread, ask the baker for details.
First decide whether you’d like crispbread or sourdough bread. The type of flour and the baker’s salt used only apply to sourdough bread; choose your chocolate sprinkles separately for either option.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Flavour combination | Choose crispbread or sourdough bread, then compare the stated cocoa solids percentage if you’re buying dark chocolate sprinkles. | I mainly want a combination of bread or crispbread and cocoa that I enjoy with my coffee. For around 40% of consumers, flavour is the most important factor. |
| Wholemeal and baker’s salt | For sourdough bread, check whether it’s wholemeal and, if needed, ask whether iodised baker’s salt was used. | If I’m swapping crispbread for sourdough bread, I want to know which flour it’s made from and what salt the baker used. This bread choice comes first for around 30% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Check the latest label on the chocolate sprinkles and bread; compare the nutritional information per 100 g if sugar content matters to you. | Before eating, I need to be able to check the ingredients and allergens in both products. For around 30% of consumers, checking the label is the top priority. |
Sourdough describes how bread rises, not the type of flour it contains. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, bakers don’t always use baker’s salt either.
Check separately whether the bread is labelled wholemeal. If iodine matters to you, ask the baker which salt they used.

No. Sourdough tells you something about how the bread rises, not the type of flour used. Check whether it’s labelled wholemeal on the packaging or ask the baker; crispbread is a separate product.
No, you can’t tell from the word ‘sourdough’. According to the Netherlands Nutrition Centre, bakers aren’t required to use baker’s salt. Check the ingredients on packaged bread or ask the baker which salt they used.
Compare the stated cocoa solids percentage for the specific varieties. For example, Albert Heijn states that De Ruijter Specials Intens Puur contains at least 52%; the word ‘dark’ on its own doesn’t tell you the percentage.
For pre-packed chocolate sprinkles, check the latest ingredients list. For unpackaged bread, ask the baker for allergen information. Check both products separately, as ingredients and possible traces can vary between varieties.
No. That claim compares the product with a particular reference product; it isn’t a judgement about what’s right for everyone. Check which product is used for the comparison, then look at the sugar per 100 g, the ingredients and the serving size on the packaging.
